Congrats Caddy, I think that's a respectable total, especially with the higher prices. 
Listen to your stomachCaddy said:I have to say that everytime I see a new sale I get that excited lurch in my stomach because that means another total stranger thought enough of my cover/description, etc to try it.
Sounds a bit silly doesn't it?
This is a great point. It's so easy to lose sight of the 'norm' when it seems like everyone is a bestseller. I'm thrilled for the sp authors who have achieved great success. I think it shows the rest of us that anything is possible, but it's important not to judge your own sales based on what others are doing. We all have a different path to navigate. All the best in 2013!TexasGirl said:I think you're doing great. Sometimes as we watch the success stories here on KB, we forget we are looking at a demographic that includes some of the very best.
In my writing groups, sales are generally about 20 copies of a book per month. I think going above that means you are starting to beat the curve.
I have to disagree with you here. Yes, there are a number of seller here that sell many multiples more than I do, but I find them to be helpful and not snarky at all. I know that you feel a need to denigrate Amazon in most of your posts, and that's fine, but slightly tarring all the KB bestsellers with this brush is unfair and unwarranted, in my opinion.Patty Jansen said:Quite often on these boards, threads tend to be dominated by people who exude an air of 'why aren't you all selling 10,000 copies a month, because I am and it was easy. I just uploaded my books and people started buying'.
I'm not saying they're not helpful, because they are, but a lot of people, including myself, are intimidated by those sales figures. Have you noticed that in the sales threads, as soon as a couple big sellers start reporting, all the smallfry shut up? That's just human nature because we're embarrassed. There are many, many more people with modest sales than big sellers on these boards.Shawn Inmon said:I have to disagree with you here.
